  • Classics 101: A Primer on Serials Part II - Super Heroes Strike Back

    WW2 brought a new type of action hero to the serial cinema screen: the patriotic G-Man battling enemy agents (at first, unnamed but obviously German; later, they wore so many swastikas you’d swear der Fuhrer had a “minimum bling requirement”).
